About

I recently graduated from CU Boulder with a BA in Computer Science and a minor in Music, and I am currently working at Lunar Outpost as a Robotics Engineering Intern.

During my last academic year, I served as the Vice President of the Women in Computing club at CU, and I also worked on the software sub-team for the CU Rover Team. I gained invaluable experience at Axiom Space working as a Software Engineering Intern on their UI/UX team last summer, and prior to that I had the privilege of interning at Lunar Outpost with their Ground Software team in both 2023 & 2024.

In my spare time, I love skiing and being outdoors. I’m passionate about painting, graphic design, and music, and have been playing the viola for over 10 years.
